I just got back from voting and it reminded me how pissed off I was at this proposition. Prop A in Missouri has been heavily advertised as this great education funding bill, where they tax the casinos and send it to the schools. Pretty great right? Except the Casino lobbies basically wrote it and took off gamble loss restrictions and the schools don't even get very much of an increase. But they throw a bunch of apples up on their web site and teachers who support it, and have commercials with teachers who support it...givng the impression that the teachers unions do, which of course they are appalled at this, but casinos have way more money. And gamblers anonymous is furious and writing these pleading editorials. I hope this f***ing fails.

 

So if you are in MO, PLEASE vote this down.

 

They could end up doing like they did in Illinois with the lottery money that was supposed to make the schools the best in the land! They removes one dollar from the state's share for every new dollar that comes in from the new 'source'. net result is nothing.

passes. And baker loses. And McCain will probably win missouri. This state, man, this state.
